It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-932 advisory.

    A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in vim up to 9.1.1096. This vulnerability affects     unknown code of the file src/main.c. The manipulation of the argument --log leads to memory corruption. It     is possible to launch the attack on the local host. Upgrading to version 9.1.1097 is able to address this     issue. The patch is identified as c5654b84480822817bb7b69ebc97c174c91185e9. It is recommended to upgrade     the affected component. (CVE-2025-1215)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. A segmentation fault was found in Vim before 9.1.1043. In     silent Ex mode (-s -e), Vim typically doesn't show a screen and just operates silently in batch mode.
    However, it is still possible to trigger the function that handles the scrolling of a gui version of Vim     by feeding some binary characters to Vim. The function that handles the scrolling however may be     triggering a redraw, which will access the ScreenLines pointer, even so this variable hasn't been     allocated (since there is no screen). This vulnerability is fixed in 9.1.1043. (CVE-2025-24014)

    Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Vim allows to redirect screen messages     using the `:redir` ex command to register, variables and files. It also allows to show the contents of     registers using the `:registers` or `:display` ex command. When redirecting the output of `:display` to a     register, Vim will free the register content before storing the new content in the register. Now when     redirecting the `:display` command to a register that is being displayed, Vim will free the content while     shortly afterwards trying to access it, which leads to a use-after-free. Vim pre 9.1.1115 checks in the     ex_display() function, that it does not try to redirect to a register while displaying this register at     the same time. However this check is not complete, and so Vim does not check the `+` and `*` registers     (which typically donate the X11/clipboard registers, and when a clipboard connection is not possible will     fall back to use register 0 instead. In Patch 9.1.1115 Vim will therefore skip outputting to register zero     when trying to redirect to the clipboard registers `*` or `+`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no     known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-26603)

    Vim, a text editor, is vulnerable to potential data loss with zip.vim and special crafted zip files in     versions prior to 9.1.1198. The impact is medium because a user must be made to view such an archive with     Vim and then press 'x' on such a strange filename. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.1198.

According to the versions of the vim packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    When switching to other buffers using the :all command and visual mode still being active, this may cause     a heap-buffer overflow, because Vim does not properly end visual mode and therefore may try to access     beyond the end of a line in a buffer. In Patch 9.1.1003 Vim will correctly reset the visual mode before     opening other windows and buffers and therefore fix this bug. In addition it does verify that it won't try     to access a position if the position is greater than the corresponding buffer line. Impact is medium since     the user must have switched on visual mode when executing the :all ex command. The Vim project would like     to thank github user gandalf4a for reporting this issue.(CVE-2025-22134)

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0190 advisory.
